Wiesa (1936–1938 Rabental , 1938–1947 Altwiese ) is a district of the East Saxon community of Kodersdorf in the district of Görlitz .
geography
Geographical location
Wiesa is the westernmost part of the municipality. It is located north of the federal motorway 4 , the next junction of which is Kodersdorf in the eastern neighboring town of Rengersdorf .
The Königshain Mountains rise south of the village , from which a stream flows through Wiesa to the Schwarzen Schöps .
Surrounding villages are Särichen in the northeast, Kodersdorf and Rengersdorf in the east, Torga in the southeast, and the Waldhufener districts of Thiemendorf in the southwest, Attendorf in the west and Ullersdorf in the northwest.
geology
To the north of Wiesa there are deposits of Wiesa granodiorite , which is a small to medium-grain variety of East Lusatian granodiorite . Due to weathering, it is partly red-brown in color; it also contains inclusions of quartz , feldspar , black mica and occasionally individual hornblende crystals .
Natural structure
Wiesa is naturally part of the Upper Lusatian heath and pond area . In a small landscape , the place lies in the Wiesaer Talmulde , which merges into the Rengersdorfer Schiefergebirge heights northeast of the locality . The Wiesa valley basin is between 170 and 205 m above sea level. NN , meltwater sands, top clay sands and top clay clay form the predominant rock in this area. The predominantly existing soil types are brown earth , rust earth , braungley and gley .
history
Wiesa ("von der Wezen") is documented for the first time in 1398 in the Görlitzer Achtbuch . Hans von Klüx appears as the first local lord , who in 1416 allowed his mayor to the Wezen to sell a meadow to a citizen of Görlitz . In contrast, the von der Wiese family , who lived in Wiese (Ves) near Seidenberg (Zawidów) and in the Duchy of Schweidnitz, had no connection with Wiesa. Belonging to the Niederrengersdorfer Church and the Wiesa manor have been documented since the 16th century at the latest . The latter held the manorial rule over the place until the 19th century .
After the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede a large part of Upper Lusatia to Prussia . In the following year Wiesa was incorporated into the newly founded district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In the province of Silesia .
After the Second World War , the parts of Silesia west of the Lusatian Neisse were again assigned to Saxon and Wiesa in 1952 to the Niesky district . Also after the end of the war, the manor was expropriated and redistributed as part of the land reform . Some new farmers also settled in Wiesa.
The agricultural production cooperatives operating in Wiesa had farmed around 670 hectares of land and kept almost 800 cattle, including around 400 beef cattle.
At the beginning of the seventies, several community amalgamations took place in the Niesky district, including the incorporation of Wiesa into Kodersdorf in 1973.

During the examinations of the country towards the end of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) it was found that during the war the number of possessed men (farmers) in Wiesa decreased by 63%, gardeners by 33% and cottagers by 50% . Around 130 years later there were 4 possessed men, 23 gardeners and 5 cottagers in Wiesa. Two economies were in desolation .
According to the first population census in 1825, the population increased from 321 to 405 in 1885. The subsequent 10 percent population decline had already been compensated for in the interwar period, but by May 1939 the population shrank again by almost 10 percent. After the Second World War, the number of residents rose to almost 600 as a result of refugees and displaced persons from the former eastern regions. The population decline that became apparent in the early 1960s caused the population to fall below 500 towards the end of the decade.
In May 2011 Wiesa had 331 inhabitants.
Place name
The place name developed from Wezen (1398) over Wesen (1427), Wysse (1490) and Wiese (1719) to Wiesa (1791). The name is of German origin and describes a place in the meadows . Nevertheless (probably because of the more Slavic ending -a) in 1936, as part of the Germanization of Slavic place names, the name was changed to Rabental . The village was renamed again in 1938, this time the name Altwiese was based on the original name. As with most of the renamed places in the former Silesian part of Saxony, the official renaming took place in 1947.
